Abstract
This study was aimed to investigate the liver of red-legged partridge in regards of morphologic and histologic features. In this study, the liver tissues of ten red-legged partridges were removed and fixed into 10% formaldehyde solution for 72 hours. After fixation, the liver tissues were dehydrated through a graded alcohol series to xylene and embedded in paraffin blocks. Obtained sections 5-7 µm thickness of sections from paraffin blocks were stained with Crossman Modified Triple staining and examined for histologic structures. In morphologic examining, the liver of red-legged partridges consisted of two lobs. In addition, histologic analysis showed that liver tissue was covered with a thick connective tissue and this connective tissue made up of many smaller units of liver cells called lobules. Hepatocytes were seen radially round and located around central vena, which consists of remark cords. The squamous cells and Kupffer cells were observed in the sinusoidal lining. In conclusion; the results from this study indicated that there were some structural differences from other bird species, but not functionally.Keywords
